EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of New Bridge Street, Truro, Cornwall, taken in the early 1900s. The image offers a mesmerizing view of the New Bridge Street bridge from the Old Bridge Street bridge, showcasing a picturesque scene of small boats gently floating on the River Allen at high tide. As you immerse yourself in this historic moment frozen in time, notice how effortlessly it transports you to an era long gone. The attention to detail is remarkable; even though partially visible, L. R. Penhaligon's furniture dealer shop at 19 New Bridge Street adds a touch of authenticity to the photograph. It serves as a reminder that amidst the bustling streets and flowing river lies a vibrant community where businesses thrived and life carried on. Photographer Arthur Philp has masterfully captured not just an image but also emotions and stories within this frame. The Victorian and Edwardian influences are evident throughout - from architectural styles to fashion choices - providing valuable insights into Cornish history during this period. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum is more than just an artifact; it is a portal through which we can glimpse into our past and appreciate the rich heritage that shaped our present-day Truro.
